Powerstroke Problems ?
Hello to all,
I am in the market for a new truck (new to me) and I am looking for info on Powerstroke diesel crew cabs. I have heard from a friend that there have been some trans/convertor/flexplate problems with these. Is this so?
I have another buddy that has a 95 Ford Diesel and it just seems to run. Only has about 125000 miles and those are mostly highway towing a race car.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Wish I could buy a new one, but it is not in the cards.

I have a 03 6.0 crewcab longbed 4x4 auto. I love this truck. After the 100,000 mile warranty was up I installed a bullydog rapidflow air intake system which added about 25 hp to the rear wheels and then I PURCHASED the tripledog downloader and programed the truck. in the extreme mode 1047hp to the rear wheels. in the performance mode I have great power and economy. I pull large trailers and I work my truck but not abuse it. It is the LARIAT LIMITED EDITION with gooseneck and fifthwheel hookup and added airbag rear suspenion with air guage and control in cab.

we have a first for us in the shop now. a 6.0 with a broken crank. I have seen maybe 6 or so broken flexplates. not very common. the one we have with a broken crank was most likly casued by the driver ignoring the loud banking poping sound it was making when the flexplate broke.
